Villa Lycia is a brand-new four-bedroomed villa due for completion in March 2005, therefore, pictures are currently unavailable with the exception of some floor plans, an artist's impression and a shot of the view from the plot. We are hoping to update this wesbite with further pictures of 'work in progress' at the end of January.

Villa Lycia will have stunning views over both Kalkan and Kalamar bays and will be set over three floors (the top one of which will be dedicated to one large bedroom suite with its own bathroom, living area and roof terrace).

This villa will be larger than average as each floor will be approximately 70 square metres.

To summarise, the ground floor will consist of:

*Large open plan kitchen / dining / living area
*Double bedroom
*Shower room / WC

The first floor will comprise:

*Two bedrooms (x1 twin and x1 double)
*Both with en-suite shower/bathroom & WC
*Large gallery-style balcony/veranda

The second floor suite will consist of:

*A very spacious double bedroom
*En-suite bathroom/WC
*Living area
*Roof terrace

Villa Lycia will be finished and furnished to a very high standard and will comfortably sleep up to 10 guests. The villa will have full airconditioning, dishwasher, washing machine, fridge-freezer, large private pool (exact dimensions to be confirmed, however, it will at least 35sq metres) and landscaped gardens with terraces and outside dining area.

The villa will overlook both Kalkan and Kalamar Bays and the walk into the village will take approximately 15-20 minutes (downhill).

Area Description
The historic town of Kalkan is situated on Turkey's gorgeous Lycian Coast and was once a simple Turkish/Greek fishing village. Today's Kalkan is quietly sophisticated and postcard pretty with a few good quality low-rise hotels, a selection of privately owned holiday villas and a multitude of excellent roof-top restaurants offering all manner of culinary delights, together with a good selection of of stylish and atmospheric blues and jazz bars.

The village shops stay open 'til around midnight and are well stocked with interesting antiques, crafts, jewellery, carpets and clothing. The narrow streets of the old town are lined with whitewashed shuttered buildings festooned with brightly coloured bougainvillea intermingled with shops and terrace-topped restaurants. These streets twist down to the harbour, which is the focus of the village and here you can enjoy a meal whilst watching the world go by or by looking at the array of elegant 'gulets'. During the day, you can make use of one of the many 'beach clubs', visit the local market, engage in some of the local sporting activities (such as water-skiing, parascending, scuba diving, trekking etc), take a trip to one of the historical sites, drive a jeep up into the mountains, cruise on a gulet or simply relax by your pool.

Unlike some other Turkish coastal resorts, Kalkan's main economy derives from tourism and consequently, its inhabitants put much effort and pride into the town's historic preservation. As a result of very strict building regulations and the efforts of the Kalkan Foundation, the town has retained its charm and special ambience. The wonderful hospitality of the Kalkan people is another reason why the first-time visitor invariably returns time after time.
